  • youre awesome!

  • The internet brings together all sorts of dumbasses that should never be allowed to have an opinion.

    It's a breeding ground for mischief, disprespect and usurping and it is impossible to get away completely from it especially when you are such a well-known figure such as yourself.

    As with any endeavour, you will always meet people who disagree or will try to trip you.

    Stay strong and don't let the internet get to your head.

  • I have an Imac too.

  • Peter, you must have an IQ of 160. You're awesome. Keep making videos!

  • Peter! Please, please, please don't stop making videos. You're a wonderful Youtube staple. We all love hearing your words of wisdom. Don't let these ignorant people with their ignorant comments get you down. On here, you're very appreciated.

  • Peter! You are the best. I hope you get some rest and don't bother yourself over the mean comments. We love you.

    :)

  • i wish u were my grandpa

  • Dude, you rock! dont listen to what anyone else says. keep the videos comeing, i love every one of them.

  • I like your videos. By the way Peter, there is a site called keepvid and it allows people to download the source video from youtube in flash format. That is how your video got theived. You just got to watch what you put up. Anyway, take care of yourself, don't get too down.

    Peace

  • You are the best. i just found your videos and i am very intrigued by you. you seem like a very interesting man. I am now a loyal subscriber.

  • Peter keep your spirits up, there seem to be more people here who care about you and only a few idiots whom have no respect. I have just bought a 24" Imac myself and its great. Cheer from Australia.

  • I love those imac computers wish I had one.  Your voice is cool you should be in some movie commercial. So relaxing and nice to listen to.

  • Peter,

    Love you!!! From Michigan, USA

  • Quote:

    "Hello Youtubers"

    Keep it going ye olde generation lives on.

  • Don't let the "haters" get you down. And to all you haters. What a bunch of soulless, degenerate fucks. I will say what peter can't and maybe wont want me to say, Fuck you! My respect and love to peter.

  • hey, on that mac computer, you go to imovie, you click the button to the left of play, over to the left, and you can take video with you imac cam

  • Maybe Peter won't have any trouble with imovie, but I just couldn't get the hang of it. It's an easy program to use -- I guess I just don't like it. Instead I use Final Cut Pro -- the program has depth and the interface is consistent, not a challenge.

  • please keep 'bothering' peter, we love you

  • there are many silly little haters about that have nothing better to do than flame peoples videos! who knows why they do it, seems they have nothing better to do with their sad pathetic little lives. just ignore them peter, they jusy stupid.

  • Peter, best wishes from Poland!

    Thank you, that you are at YouTube! :)

  • I really wish i hade that computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • great taste in computers there

  • I would like to cheer You up. I really appreciate that You spend a lot of time and effort here. Believe me, it is worth it.

  • I have just discovered your channel...please don't leave now!

  • Hi Peter, you are one of the major reasons I watch You Tube for. It is sad but Bessie will see us through it all. It's a strange new world but nothing can ever change the Blues!

  • Totally agreed. Peter is the reason I still stick around

  • Hi Lewisbeech, this is probably going to sound silly,but I just had to come back and see this agreeing and positive comment. I've been on the sharp end of some young, insensitive persons tongue myself lately, so I just needed to come back and be comforted. Thank you!

  • It's a shame that because you are accessible as a person and a resource for the generations, you become a target for people who'd want to hurt you. Don't let that phase you. We still need you :)

  • Thanks for posting this video.

  • Yep, Bessy was very cool. Sorry to hear of your problem.

    You Tube should be happy that you are here.

  • You are the best Peter :)

    and what nice song is it on the end of the movie??

  • Heh, your a legend, thanks. :)

  • Sorry one other thing...What is that song called at the end of the video?...It was very mellow

  • Plus is that a little E.T in the background

  • Hi dude...Even when you delete a video it stays cached on some sites so it can still be retrieved...Sod all the haters...Us Brits gotta stick together!!!

  • I'm a Peter fan, don't get me wrong!! Put me in the file of Peter fans!! Call it the Peter File!

    Somebody hacked my account. :(

  • Your videos are too awesome Peter. Don't let those fools get you down because they are sad losers, look at how many fans you have behind you.

  • That is really too bad that someone would do something like that.

    I hope you cheer up. Happy b-day, good music at the end it cheered me up.

  • You're a legend.

  • Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. I think ppl will understand if you don't respond to each and every letter. YOu have to take care of yourself...Love ya, Op

  • It's too bad that the people we are seeing a lot of on youtube and other public places on the internet are such rude pigs. Actually, we should call them pigs as those animals are probably not nearly as rude and crude.

  • And you know what?! He was the happiest geezer around in spite of barely being able to walk for 60 years after fighting for this country, and yet when I listen to geriatric1927's banal videos I don't see any "stories" like this, only griping about so called "haters" on YouTube. The very "haters" that see through his shit. It's all about perspective. But with you being only 14...I guess you need to live a little to see that.

  • ok....u need to calm down. some people like listening to him, is that such a bad thing? u have made it clear that u dont like his videos, or him, and there is no more need for anyone(including me) to dwell on that further.

  • What exactly are you hoping to accomplish here, beyond perpetuating your own anger?

  • @TySpoonz. See, just today in my work, I met an 88 year old WW2 veteran who was in The Navy. He had a real limp and could barely walk. He told me he had that limp since 1944 when he was 24 years old. His ship had ran into a mine and he consequently got shrapnel in his leg.

  • @ mgturbo, my grandfather was a commander in the indian british army, a sapper, he made bombs out of tin cans and hand grenades. and in 1944 a british major (now member of parlorment) disobeyed him, because he was indian, and his jeep was blown up from driving through my grandads minefeild he was clearing. then he got shot 6 times by a japanese machine gunner because he heard the explosion... he is happy too :D

    and after hearing storys like that. i still listen to peter.

  • if you actually watched his awsome videos. you would hear his storys. you silly man.

  • You wanna hear stories...then go and volunteer to work with homeless people over Christmas (as I have) and then you will hear some real stories instead of listening to some rich twit all cosy in his massive farmhouse in the midlands moaning about his oh so stressful "ordeal" with haters.

    Mate, when homeless people have to deal with haters, it's usually when they are getting a physical kick in the face. I'm sure they would love to sitting where he is now.

  • Mr Oakley, I hope I spelled your name right. I just seen the Zimmers video and it was great! I thought that was you! Keep it up and don't let your spirits get so down. The world is so full of people filled with hate and rage. Those of us who have so much respect for you, love your videos. You are in a sense a part of our family. Just delete them and keep your chin up!

  • damn u got alot of great history. i listened to your first few vids. keep them going though

  • " You don't sleep well, you don't eat properly, you don't exercise " ---- thats because you spending all your remaining days sitting making pointless videos and posting them on here and worrying about frivoulous shit like how many views you are getting or who is saying what about you. Get a grip man. It all leads nowhere in the end.

  • You need to get a life mqturbo1300! Get lost!

  • Don't get sucked into this fake world like a lot of people seem to be. If my Grandad or parents were endlessly posting up videos on YouTube, I'd tell them to pack that shit up and do what old(er) people do instead of sitting indoors getting fat on the internets.

  • his videos arent pointless, he is telling a story.

  • Go and talk to your own Parents and Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles and distant cousins about their stories, not some rich man on a website whom you don't even know.

    You don't know if this geezer hasn't been to prison for 10 years for some kind of shit, he isn't going to tell you that in his vaccuous "stories" is he?

  • it is strange how your words are so well spoken, but in the end are meaningless. it amazes me how you can relate the homeless to peter. it is NOT peters fault that people have nowhere to live. that falls upon the individual. and / or the goverment. so leave Mr. Geriatric the fuck alone.

  • My point is this. You wanna hear real "stories" from people, go out into the world, get off your PC's and find real people, face to face, so you can see the whites of their eyes and listen to their stories. Or failing that, go and talk to your own families, relatives, grandparents and friends about their "stories" and practice real face to face conversation.

  • seems like you should take your own advice mgturbo1300....

  • The best thing about these videos is you KNOW you're old, you know you the limits of what you know and however old you are, your life is interesting! My oh my... i didn't think a 79 year old could be interesting but you've changed that :p thanks.

  • its ok things will get better

  • hello handsome man! what a nice new computer you bought! i believe you'll love using it. i definitely want to go with an apple for my next.

  • Million of hugs and kisses to you!Love you love you love you, you r so great

    please, sleep well,feed yourself well and do exercice!!!!:)hopefully the cookie will crumble the other way, cause i want to see you smile!)

  • God, you re so cool!I adore you,thank you for being there for all of us!I really appreciate all of your videos, thank you one more time.

  • Oh Peter! You have succumed in part to the universal temptations of this technology! Don't let it eat you up, or cause you to feel responsible for those of us who love you so personally! Take GOOD care of our Granddad above all. Please go to an Al-Anon meeting and you will get some relief over the evil they are doing to you! Melinda

  • nice one peter

  • YOU ROCK!!

  • Dear Sir, I love your Videos and Comments. And I love that your new Computer is the same like mine. Congrats! The best Choise! You are the one that holds us older Webusers on the way. We created the web and that is forgotten by the youngsters. I love that you show that older People like we can use the newer technologies easyer than some of the youngsters. By easylie yust using it! ;)

    Go on!

  • you are the coolest old man i have ever seen. I just finished explaining to my grandpa what an iPod is, but I am pretty sure you would know what it is! Props to you for being the most interesting video maker on youtube

  • I hope you have cheered up considerably since you filmed this. It's so sad when the actions of a few ruin the good stuff for the rest of us. :(

    *sending you many hugs*

  • there will always be idiots looking for Negative attention, Dont let them get u down, Ur a good man and no one can take that away

  • I subscribed because you are amazing! :D

  • You are awesome!!!!!!!! I have yet to view all of your videos but I enjoy them!!! thanks!

  • Please ignore the idiots, they need attention...don't give them any more than I already have.

    Great vids as usual, hope there's many more to come....I'm a subscriber.

  • You are a beautiful person. How can anyone attack you. I look forward to your videos and would have loved to hear your opinion on Bereavement. Please take good care of yourself, take a break if you need too but WE LOVE YOU!!!!

  • Peter, sounds like you could use a little break from you tube. We all appreciate your videos and wisdom, but not at the expense of your health. Please take care.

  • fools exist everywhere...so...don't bother to what other people say,or do.:)you are the favorite grandpa of so many thousent utubers who loves you and your stories...so....smile:)life is beautifull:)

  • I've been a bit of a lurker on your videos on and off. I'm very sorry you've had the eejits doing the dirty. Look after yourself and keep well. I only hope in 40 years time I'll have the same energy to get into new stuff as you had. You are an inspiration to other older adults

  • I like listening to your views, your a good man.

  • awesome new computer!

  • Thank you for sharing your thoughts, love your videos Peter.

  • Ignore losers, they can't help it. You are a Winner, keep rockin.

  • People can be very cruel and I still have always wondered how they can be that way. You are so sweet a person. I hope you have a better day. :)

  • I hope you're feeling better about things by now. Another Tuber recently mentioned about how everyone gets to the point that they need some down-time away from YouTube. I hope you're taking good care of yourself right now and get back behind the controls here soon though. I'd miss you so much if stopped making videos. Take care and enjoy Spring!

  • I like the idea of sending videos to your friends. Forget the losers.

  • I agree with you Elvnsword. It really makes me happy to see members of the elderly comunity joining in activities that we younger people are commonly thought to do. Anyway, geriatric1927, if you are reading this, I hope that you are in good health, because you are a great person, and we are happy to have you on YouTube.

  • I think its totally undignified for old(er) people to be doing this.People in general seem to be getting sucked into this whole internet fake community shit and I think its tragic that old people are too.Throughout the 80's when I was growing up, my parents were the type of people to tell me to get off of my Sinclair Spectrum and get outside and do stuff.

  • You are a worm that needs to go f**k yourself! Do you understand how that works? Get off of Peter's back. In the 80's when you were growing up???? ha - you need to be still and listen how the world works.

  • I listen to your posts each time they are up. You remind me of my own grandfather, and it is a pleasure to listen to you speak on all the subjects. You hold within you a font of wisdom that folk grow jealous of. They won't understand it until they too are your age. I pray you good health and well being... Elvnsword!

  • Usually I check every day to see if you have a new video but somehow got off track and let five days go by! Eeeek. Please take care of yourself, get out more often for a walkabout and eat healthy. Ignore the imitators! Be true to yourself. We value you and do not want you to be downhearted for a moment.

  • PS

    Love that new computer, I think thats the one hubby and I are getting.

  • Hello! Please chin up, I hate to see you sad about complete morons. They must feel like crud on the bottom of a shoe to pick on someone as nice as you just to make them feel like something. Spring is here Lilacs are blooming (here in Pennsylvania) enjoy the garden. Make yourself an spanish omlette to celebrate Cinco de mayo on saturday. Hugs to you and take care!

  • Take time to step out of your life as it is right now, stand back and make decisions that first and foremost show compassion towards YOURSELF. You are a Sage and your presence is of utmost importance to many many individuals. Do what is best FOR YOU, sweet man.

    Many blessings

    Cindy

  • Aww, Cheer up Peter. Just think of all your other fans. Take some time out from YouTube and go out and see family, get a nice meal in a nice resturant go to shopping and stuff like that. You deserve a rest.

    But please keep at it.

    And I do think the YouTube Owners do like you.

    Becuase everyone else does

    Thanks for everything

    David

  • Peter, mentally ill, desperate people do mad things. They am to chalk up destructive projects, preferably at NASA but if not, just something The Zimmers or Mother Teresa won't like if she's still around, which they think she is.

    You can't sort everyone out all at once, and much of the time people feel far better for just writing. They know you are sending, in spirit, real care and encouragement.

  • Hi Peter, I have recently become a subscriber to your videos & have seen your last video today! I'm SO SORRY to see your distress re this idiot!! I lost my Grandad a couple of years ago & he -like you- was a VERY KIND MAN!!! I would have hated to hear him as sad as you are in this video - so PLEASE look after yourself properly as others have said & remember you have SO MANY friends who love you!! Take care Peter XX

  • Do not stop mate, I love your vids!

  • Oh Peter don't loose faith, please! Imagine how much pain these people must feel to do something like that to you. That's how I feel if I come across nasty people. You r everything that a person could hope to be, please look after your self and only post videos when u feel like it. You have enlightened all of us, take care! :-)

  • Love the new Mac!

  • Cheers, Peter!  I like your new computer stuff!!!

  • We love your videos Peter, don't worry yourself.

    Take it easy, relax. Post a video when you want to. Whatever you want to tell us, we'll listen.

    Don't forget to look after yourself first. We want you to be posting videos long after those fools have moved on to their next target.

    Love Bessie too.

  • There will always be those people who stir the bottom of the creek and make the water all muddy, then try to make you feel like you somehow had a hand in it. They just thrive on drama. I do hope youtube puts a stop to the one(s) stealing your domain name. Youtube is 'addicting.' It's too nice outside to not enjoy it a little bit. Take care. Your always my favorite 'youtuber!'

  • Dear Peter,

    Please do not let a single voice silence a generous soul. You are one of the few things I truly love about the internet. Enjoy your new 24" i-mac and see you soon friend.

  • That's awful news Peter. Unfortunately it's not uncommon either. Usually the culprit is some kid who thinks he's clever. No one who enjoys your contributions to YT would be fooled by some foul posting bearing your name, I certainly wouldn't. So please cheer up and know that the score to date stands at 41,244 - 1 on the side of decency. You've seen worse mate. :) Good news about the band and the room came out great! ~ Nick from USA.

  • great thoughts,KK! Melinda

  • I am so sorry that someone has violated your privacy and all common decency - I hope you continue to post vids because I JUST FOUND YOU! A friend was subscribing and I am so glad I checked you out today.

  • I am embarassed about what people do Peter, dont let this be an end, just ignore the idiots. That is what I have to do.

  • i love your video's peter, please keep making them and i feel it as an honor that you spend alot of time working on youtube.

  • Just do your own thing & don't get too wrapped up in all this stuff, nice song & nice Mac, try a Big Mac too. All the best.... JC

  • safe

  • Love Bessie Smith. Thank you. Peter, your first loyalty must be to yourself. Youtube is an addiction! Do get out for a walk before you turn on the computer and take time to buy, prepare and eat good food. As much as I love your posts, I don't want to think I'm enjoying them at the expense of your health. Slow it down some and live long! We all love you Peter. Don't let the bxxxxxxs get you down.

  • This is some good advice too. Try healthy cooking as a new hobby (in addition to the computer though, I'd miss you too much!)

  • Good thoughts!

  • Rock on Peter ... you're a statue that stands on...

    Keep strong. You're a great influence .....

  • dont get depressed or anything...i know how it is to be nice and still have people be assholes back for the most part. just acknowledge them and let them do what they will because that will never change. :( i sorta feel stupid saying this because this cause i am sure you already know this. many many people like your videos..pay no attention to the fags(no not cigarettes)on the internet...there's just too many of them too care about. :)

  • Dang man, a senior with a 24" iMac.. LOL. Very nice.

  • You are really an inspiration us all!If i'm as cool as you when i'm your age i will be quite satisfied!Thanks for the entertainment, you're a legend!

  • I enjoy watching your movies and hope you'll continue posting them. Don't forget that your name isn't really uncommon! Just try Google: a board member of BASF, a painter, a webdesigner and a university teacher pop up even just on page one. So perhaps someone who just happens to have the same name as you registered.

    And even if it's personal: don't forget that there are thousands of fans against any haters......

  • every time I watch one of your videos you make me smile inside. I actually love you

    xx Katie (age 19 1/4) :P

  • We all do....

  • Never mind those cruel people people Peter, please keep up the great work and don't let them stop you!

  • Peter, please don't let jerks get you down. You are well loved by many people all around the world.

  • Please don't take down your videos. You inspire people, and that is why you are you, and no one else can say that..

  • cheer up mate. ignore the assholes. just have fun and if it's too much work take a break.. you must get like a billion emails from fans and stuff but it's impossible to answer everyone. just do things in your own time. the internet is not worth losing sleep or health over. it seems you started out on youtube as just a bit of fun. keep it that way I think :) good luck.

  • Peter, please don't give up!! You are the main reason that I go on YT, I love listening to your stories. If you are the imposter and you are reading this, you should be ashamed of yourself. Take care Peter x

  • bless u

  • don't let horrid people bother you. we love you very much. I don't like seeing you sad.keep strong

  • Don't let that stuff get you down Peter -- hang on to your self-assurance and keep doing what you do, we love it.

  • Hi Peter,I haven`t seen too many of your videos but do come across them every so often and do enjoy listening over my morning coffee,Peter there are people out in the cyber world who`s main objective is to wreck your day and if U show sadness then these losers feel they have succeeded,it is only cyber bullying,block them once they have posted one mean thing,thats the power U have....hugs and a million kisses,your Canadian friend.

  • Hello Peter, your videos are amazing and you are a great man. I hope you continue with your them. You deserve the best, cheer up!!

  • Peter - I view all your videos and really find enjoyment in them. Try to ignore those who do sad things to you - they really are part of that element in this world that are out to spoil anyones day. If you give in, they've won so just ignore them and accept they're sad individuals. I also agree with other comments on this thread that you work too hard at getting your videos on YT. Give yourself a break - post one just every month? - we want you to enjoy your time and not be so generous with it.

  • Don't worry, Peter. We all know you're a cool cat, and the comments your dopelganger's left wouldn't be beleived by anyone. We've all got the blues for you, Peter.

  • Cheer up my friend. I love your videos, they bring me much comfort and joy. You were attacked because somebody is jealous of you, obviously. They can't form the kinds of relationships you do, so they must tear them down when they see them. Just ignore these poor people.

  • I am sorry to hear that some folk are being rude an upsetting you. try and concertrate on the good that you do, and the people that you do touch. Those are the important ones.

  • what do you think of americans or america in general?

  • me ? I am sure there are lots of nice Americans in America, I have met a couple. The tourists do blow goats tho :/

  • Youtube is just for fun, so, if it's stressing you, then take a break from it. It definitely shouldn't take any considerable amount of time out of your day. I used to spend several hours on this site, but I realized that wasn't good for me. Hope you feel better.

  • You rock!

  • congrats on getting a Mac.

  • ooh, I have the same computer! Except I have the 20' model since I don't have enough space on my desk for the huge one.

  • Your Cool! Im sorry this is Random but its true.

  • Nice computer Peter! Love the new Macs. And congrats on your 50th!

    Sorry to hear about your troubles with the imposter. What people won't do for attention. Really pathetic. But don't let it deter you from video-making and everything else that you do Peter. So many of us enjoy your videos and appreciate all your dedicated efforts. Don't over do it, however. Be realistic and moderate in how much you tackle. Peace, Koby
